It’s often a tricky decision whether to opt for net curtains or voile. Lots of the lovely people who pop into our shops ask us for our advice on which to choose! The first thing that we tell them is that both options are as popular as each other so it’s a fairly difficult decision to make and often down to individual preference. However, if you decide what your net/voile is going to be used for, be it for decorative use or practical use, then the decision can be made a bit simpler!
Practical: We always recommend opting for net curtains if you want to take a practical approach as they can successfully help to improve your home’s privacy and are really easy to clean.
Nets suit the interiors of both traditional and modern homes as they can be found in plain or beautiful floral designs. Nets are traditionally white or cream in colour, so can easily blend into your original décor.
Decorative: If you want to make a feature out of your window, then we suggest opting for voiles which are often brightly coloured with gorgeous detail and used more for show.
They’re woven with a finer, but more robust fabric, which takes a lot of embellishment to create a very beautiful result. You’ll find that voiles come in different colours and are more decorative than nets which tend to come in simple whites and creams.
Before voile curtains became popular, net curtains always used to be less expensive, however, as voile curtains have grown in popularity the price has come down. Let us know which you’d opt for over on our Facebook page!
